[Verse 1]
This is what the gods must have been talking about
When they told me, "Nothing changes"
Falling through the Pleiades straight into a cloud
Wishing all the stars could save me
[Chorus]
And I feel strange, like I shouldn't be here
Let me know if you receive me
If I could change, then I wouldn't be here
Oh, nothing's gonna change, believe me
So don't lead me on
[Verse 2]
This is what the birds must have been squawking about
Right before the dream was ending
And maybe you'd have heard if you'd stopped fucking around
When it was time to stop pretending
[Chorus]
That I could change and I wouldn't be here
Oh, when did all the gods deceive me?
I should change, I shouldn't be here
But nothing's gonna change, believe me
Believe me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Thrust the dagger into the night, valiant flailing
Sisyphean daily life, but endless straining
Fortify the curtain walls, but nothing's storming
Push the boulder off to the side
La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la
[Outro]
And this is what the gods must have been talking about
When they told me, "Nothing changes"
